• Cut stalks and fronds from top of fennel bulb; reserve a few fronds for garnish. Discard stalks and remaining fronds. Trim root end of fennel; remove and discard any tough or discolored outer layers. Cut fennel bulb lengthwise in half; remove and discard fibrous core. Coarsely chop fennel.
• Cook and stir bacon in large skillet on medium heat until crisp. Remove bacon from skillet with slotted spoon; drain on paper towels. Add onions and fennel to reserved drippings in skillet; cook 12 to 14 min. or until tender and golden brown, stirring frequently.
• Add boiling water to stuffing mix in large bowl; stir just until moistened. Add onion mixture, corn and bacon; mix lightly. Spoon into 2-qt. casserole sprayed with cooking spray; cover.

CORNBREAD AND BACON STUFFING (DRESSING)B

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• Saute the onions and celery in the bacon drippings, until soft but not browned.
• Let cool slightly.
• Toss the cornbread, bread, bacon, poultry seasoning, parsley, salt and pepper until mixed well.
• Add the cooked celery and onions and toss to mix well.
• Add the eggs and 1 cup of the chicken broth and stir to moisten, adding as much broth as needed.
• (Everytime is going to be different.) This is a personal taste decision.
• I like my dressing moist so I add broth until I have a very wet mixture.
• Any type pan will work for baking.
• I generally use a 8 x 8 disposable pan, but if I am making a double batch I use a 9 x 13 pan.
• Bake for 30 min, uncovered, or until golden on top.
• This is enough to stuff an 8 to 10 lb turkey, if you so desired.
• **NOTE**I have made this several times for vegetarian dinners, omitting the bacon, drippings and chicken broth and substituting with either butter, or olive oil and vegetable broth with great success.
• ALSO--If you save leftover pieces of cornbread/bread heels in a ziploc bag in your freezer, you will have half the work already done when your ready to make this.
• (Just a tip my grandma told me that works.).

BACON-CORNBREAD STUFFING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spread cornbread and bread on two rimmed baking sheets and bake until dry and golden, about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, in a medium skillet, cook bacon over medium until fat is rendered and bacon is crisp, about 5 minutes. Add onion, celery, and garlic and cook until translucent, about 4 minutes. Stir in sage and transfer to a large bowl.
• Add cornbread, bread, eggs, broth, parsley, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper to bowl and toss until combined. Let sit 5 minutes, then toss again. Reserve 4 1/2 cups for turkey, then spoon remaining stuffing into a 9-inch square baking dish. Bake until top is golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes.

CORNBREAD-BACON STUFFING

Steps:

Add the celery, thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the celery is tender, about 5 minutes. Add the chicken broth and bring to a simmer, then remove from the heat and set aside.
• Whisk the eggs, parsley and scallions in a large bowl. Add the cornbread and potato bread cubes, the pecans and the vegetable mixture; stir to combine. Transfer the stuffing to the prepared baking dish. Cut the remaining 2 tablespoons butter into cubes and dot over the stuffing.
